Run a Duck Critic producer-critic loop: you (main) keep producing the plan/code/tests and gate your own work at checkpoints with a different-model critic, revising until it passes. Use when asked for rubber duck, ラバーダック, 別モデルレビュー, second opinion, critic, or a different-model code review, design review, plan critique, or review by another model/agent harness. Not for readability refactoring or code cleanup alone.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Duck Critic

Run a producer-critic loop, the way the native Rubber Duck works: you keep producing the work and gate it at checkpoints with a second-opinion critic, then revise until the critic passes.

Keep ownership of the plan, implementation, and tests. At a checkpoint, send the current artifact to an authorized read-only critic, reconcile its findings, and continue. Honor the user's chosen host or route; prefer native Rubber Duck only when available there, otherwise use a supported reviewer or separate model session.

## When to Use

- Use when the user asks for `rubber duck`, `ラバーダック`, `second opinion`, `別モデルレビュー`, critic review, plan critique, code review, design review, test review, or another-model review.
- Use when the user says "rubber duck で実装して" / "ラバーダックで作って": you implement it yourself and gate your own checkpoints with the critic. Do not delegate the whole implementation to a subagent.
- Use before nontrivial implementation, after drafting tests, before architecture/deployment decisions, or after repeated failures.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aktsmm/agent-skills/duck-critic@sha256:2a5ee2b475a6856d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.ceb204a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
